Palantir employees probably know how easy it would be to correlate any post they make to their real identity.
Also that they are unlikely to get a fair shake unless they say what folks here want to hear.

I think Meta employees don’t protest either for the genocides its platforms aided and supported or the other harms caused to kids in general. Maybe the pay is so good that one can convince oneself they’re on the good side. Maybe these companies attract a certain type of personality that doesn’t necessarily care much about others.
I doubt most people at Meta feel responsible for that. Surely people at Palantir understand that it's effectively the stated mission of their job.

It hasn't for many decades now. The armaments that civilians are allowed to legally own pale in comparison to what the military has. AI powered drones would just automate turning people into pink mist.

why draw the line on palantir? why not involve microsoft amd intel who provides their computers, or car manufacturers that provides their vehicles? been seeing lots of these attacks on defense companies without providing a better alternative and a concrete plan they can execute

> but the Gaza genocide War is not a genocide.
So edgy; is being an apologist really the noble calling you think it is? Both are just words, mappings to concepts in our minds; "genocide" is an invented term, but it has a widely shared definition that the UN helped formalize, and in the minds of many, many people all over the world, the term applies here. "War" could one day be waged against whatever group you belong to, as well. You may wish for the country wagin…
Gaza is Swiss-cheesed with hundreds of miles of military tunnels. If any attack on a tunnel is disallowed because of civilian buildings above it, I predict many countries will start adopting the Hamas strategy of putting military bases under civilian buildings. That way, every attack on your bases becomes a war crime by your enemy - you can't lose!

Is it your noble calling? From the Temporary Constitution of the State of Palestine (2026)[1]:
Article 4 – Islam, Sharia and Christianity
1. Islam is the official religion in the State of Palestine.
2. The principles of Islamic Sharia are a primary source for legislation.

Also, given that many 2A proponents still believe in it as a legitimate “correction” mechanism, Gaza should be the final wake up call.

Great. Which describes a very specific thing. good.
> and in the minds of many, many people all over the world, the term applies here.
In minds of many people many things were acceptable. I am not sure this kind of reasoning is a good strategy. In minds of many Hutu, Tutsi did not deserve to live. Were Hutu right?
> "War" could one day be waged against whatever group you belong to, as well. You may wish for the country waging it to follow the Geneva Convention so that your sons gain a small chance of becoming POWs and returning to you, instead of being destroyed by an autonomous drone.
This is very good point. Unfortunately, Palestinians did not follow Geneva convention. Firing unguided rockets in barrages towards population centers with the goal of overwhelming air defense systems is very much non-conventional.
> Comments like yours endorse the actions that are being done;
How come? Do you see a difference between saying "it's okay to kill civilians" and debating the merits of using one term vs. another to describe an event?
> we're beginning to recognize the term "hasbara" for them.
It seems to me an easy way out. Why discuss the merits of an argument, if you can simply say "it's hasbara" and walk away?
